What the hell is in Muncie, IN?

I am! :smiley:

I was hoping that Yue Han would be able to join Drain Bead and myself on the ride to SPIFFLED. Alas, his parents decided that giving their child over to Satan for a weekend was not prudent. However, we will be driving by there at around dinner time, and we really like Yue Han, so we made dinner plans.

Then we thought, well shit, let’s just see who else wants to come out and break bread?

So, allow me to cordially invite anyone who wants to join us all at the Mini Muncie Millions Meeting!


When:  Friday, April 6th
       6:45 PM
Where: [Greek's Pizzeria](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tab=B2C&tuid=5196598&ycat=8228747&city=Muncie&state=IN&country=us&slt=40.193298&sln=-85.386398&cs=4)
       1600 West University Avenue
       Muncie, IN 47303
       (765) 284-4900

You can click the link above for a map and you can click a link there for door-to-door driving directions to and from the place.

Yue Han picked the place out, and he said it’s “great Pizza.” I’d love to meet others besides Yue Han, so, come on and come out!

So far it is myself, Drainy, Yue Han and I hope his better half who also posts here will make it… Anyone else?

Yeah, Satan wanted me to post here to say he wasn’t making it up. He’s not. Me and possibly MissMisery (pending response to my email) will be there. I know TikiGod lives in Muncie.

BTW, I think it’s just as well I can’t come to Spiffled. SanibelMan will be there, and after what MissMisery said in the ‘have sex with Sanibelman’ thread…

Lady Dopers, please help out my Floridian brother at this Dopefest. Better you than my girlfriend.

–John

Yes, I will come along. Someone needs to make sure that you guys are not planning on killing Yue Han or tying him up and tickling his feet with really big feathers.
Okay, both of those are a little far-fetched. I will come along anyway because such a meeting sounds like it could be fun.

Aw shit…

:: puts feathers back in pillow ::

Oh, they wouldn’t kill John. The feathers thing though…well, maybe.

In response to your exact question, Satan, one thing to be found in sunny Muncie, IN is the Ball State University bookstore. Up to at least a few years ago they sold a great t-shirt. It just has the word “Ball” inset into a huge “U”.

Yes, Ball U.
Think about it.

Ever attentive to your souvenir needs,
Veb

Okay, I’ve thought about it…

I never thought you’d ask!

So, can I assume you’re, uh, coming?

:wink:

I’d kill for a Ball U shirt.

Satan, when are you all gonna be in St. Louis? We might be able to meet you guys at least for a drink depending on the time.

And put me down for a Ball U shirt too… or a hat even. I’ll pay interest on it :slight_smile:

I used to work at Greek’s Pizzeria! It’s actually very good pizza.

Muncie, Indiana is located just east of Interstate 69 about an hour north of Indianapolis and is the home of Ball State University. Hence the following popular on-campus graffiti:
“Do I have to go 69 to get to Ball U?”

I can’t believe I walked right into that one.

Damn.

Blushing,
Veb

I’ll be there considering I live 3 minutes away from Greek’s. You can’t call it Greek’s Pizzeria when you come down you have to sound local call it Greek’s and you’ll do fine :wink: For real though I was thinking about coming to Spiffled but that is a 7hr car drive and being a broke college student makes it rough. Anyways I will be there.

Don’t you know anything, The Knights of the Dinner Table is in Muncie, as is the League of the Black Hand, as any gamer could tell you.

Are you f—ing kidding me?

The only nice thing about the weather in Muncie is, it’s not the weather in Elkhart. (Which is where I am now, haha)

Wait, that sounds wrong. That sounds like I like Elkhart weather. Here in Elkhart we have the glory that is Lake Effect. Blizzards in the winter, thunderstorms in the spring, tornados in the summer, and all three in the fall.

Whereas Muncie is merely completely unpredictable. Go to sleep after a balmy springish day, wake up to an inch of snow on the ground.

–John

Okay, here is the guestlist thus far:

Satan
Drain Bead
Yue Han
MissMisery
The Mighty Tiki God

I’ll assume that TVeblen is not coming, innuendo (for once) aside. Not sure about 5CentCigar… You still in the area?

Turbo Dog

I will actually be staying at a hotel near where SanibelMan’s Aunt lives so as to easier pick him up. The hotel is in Troy, IL. Lunch on Saturday, April 7 around there would be cool if it can be around there… Any chance on you and some other Dopers making it out? I can even give someone a ride to SPIFFLED and they can split a room with SanibelMan, since I have one extra seat in the car.

Let me know, or start a thread about it or something…

Am I the only one whose immediate thought on seeing the thread title was of The Hudsucker Proxy?

“I can’t believe you lied to me. You, of all people. A Muncie girl.”

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Nope. My thoughts exactly. :wink:

Oh hey, The Mighty Tiki God, I almost forgot to reply to you.

I have an extra seat in the car to get to SPIFFLED. You are welcome to tag along, no problem. The only expenses you’d have to pay will be the room at the hotel I am staying at near SanibelMan’s aunt (my room was only $40) and food costs. I am picking up the room in Springfield for SanibelMan, so you and he can split it at no cost to you.

Let me know if you’re up for it…

Hey Satan sounds like a possibility. Pending what day it is (I forgot and I am too lazy to look at the moment). Sounds like I could cover the expenses easily I just got my new credit card and I’m itching to make myself go into debt. So once I see what day it is and if I can get it off of work I’ll get back to you.

Yep, I most definitely was kidding.

Perhaps I failed to mention it previously ::buffs nails on sleeve, whistles:: but for a halcyon 18 months I lived in Muncie while earning my first masters.

Been back a few times since. My old apartment on Cole St. was still there but the old watering hole had been torn down. (Not suprising; it was a dive. You could get ebola from the life forms breeding in the floor spillage.) Enthusiatic endorsement for Greek’s pizza, though.

No, I will not be at the gathering save in spirit, which is a tactful way of saying, “hoist one for me.”

Have a ball! (yuk, yuk, yuk)
Veb

I’m too far from Greeks now but thanks anyway. Get a stromboli sandwich, they’re awesome!
